News update: Yesterday’s most read, viewed

Here are the most-read stories and the most-watched video on seattlepi.com for Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2007.

Most read stories:
A column by Robert Jamieson on ruffians chasing people away from downtown Seattle was the top story on the site. Read the column.

But Jamieson’s piece was just barely ahead of a story in part three of the P-I series by Eric Nalder and Lewis Kamb about cops who drink and get away with it. This bit was about a little blue sticker depicting a bear. The sticker is used by some police officers on their personal cars to tip off other police that they’re cops — and the story says, that they’re hoping for special treatment. Read the story or read the whole series.

Most watched video:
Well, we told you about this one yesterday in this blog, and it quickly became the site’s most-watched video. It’s about Russian women in a foot race — wearing stiletto heels. Watch the video.

So in the spirit of keeping you ahead of the most-popular content, check out this video on the site today, of Barry Bonds, hitting No. 756 to break Hank Aaron’s home-run record. And here’s a bit more video on the fans in San Francisco who witnessed that bit of baseball history.
